This article has been the subject of at least 1 FARC, and a FAR - none of which achieved any improvement in the article. The article does not meets today's FA critera. Problems include
- Comprehensiveness, inlcuding the lead which mostly discusses taxomony
- Prose is grammatically poor and for a general reader probably hard to understand - for example technical terms are not linked or explained
- References were added after the fact, and I doubt any verification has taken place in the interim; inlines are mostly absent

- I agree with Peta: prose OK in parts, bad in parts. Under-referenced. Disorganised. Can the contributors be marshalled in time to save this? Tony 11:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
